Alishia recently sat down with LA Sparks forward Azurá Stevens for a heartwarming and refreshingly honest conversation — one that blended her breakout season, her push for the WNBA’s Most Improved Player award, and even a touching story about a fan moment she’ll never forget.
Stevens has been on an incredible rise this year, turning heads across the league with her skill, efficiency, and quiet dominance. The 6’6” sharpshooter tied Jonquel Jones’ 2024 record for the most three-pointers in a single season (59) by a player her height or taller — and she did it in eight fewer games.
Her numbers speak volumes: averaging 28.6 minutes per game while shooting an impressive 50.9% from the field and 42.4% from beyond the arc, she joins elite company as one of only two players this year — alongside Leonie Fiebich — to reach that rare statistical milestone.
But what makes Stevens stand out isn’t just her shooting or versatility — it’s her mindset. In the interview, she opened up about her motivation to keep evolving, her connection with fans, and how much their support fuels her drive. One fan gesture, in particular, left a lasting mark on her, reminding Stevens why every moment on and off the court matters.
With her combination of consistency, leadership, and authenticity, Azurá Stevens is not only redefining what it means to be a modern big in the WNBA — she’s inspiring others to chase excellence with grace and heart.
